Trump administration threatens Harvard with foreign student ban
Briefly

The US Department of Homeland Security threatened Harvard University with the revocation of its ability to enroll foreign students if it does not comply with government demands. Secretary Kristi Noem's letter outlined expectations for detailed reporting on foreign students' activities, condemning perceived illegal and violent actions, particularly amid a crackdown on pro-Palestinian activism. The university has until April 30 to comply or face losing Student and Exchange Visitor Programme certification. The letter cited concerns about a hostile environment for Jewish students and resulted in a cancellation of over $2.7 million in grants to Harvard.
Noem stated, "Harvard has until April 30 to comply with demands or face immediate loss of SEVP certification, making it harder to enroll foreign students."
The letter from Homeland Security accused Harvard of creating a hostile learning environment for Jewish students, emphasizing the privilege of hosting foreign students.
